We really loved our stay at Adeline and feel it truly deserves the 2011 Service Excellence award Wonderful location, very caring presentation and the quality of the product supplied was absolutely indulgent. As the third group of our extended family to enjoy the hospitality of our hosts at Adeline, we will certainly recommend this peaceful and unique B&B. We have stayed at many guest accommodation houses across Victoria but feel this is one of the finest available
